Rangatira Revetment Construction

A new rock revetment and beach works has been built to restore and protect the Whakarire Avenue Reserve, nearby properties and significant heritage sites.

The revetment and a wave spending beach restores and protects the existing council-managed coastal reserve along the seaward side of the properties on Whakarire Avenue.

It will also protect residential properties and the two significant heritage sites on the reserve, as well as enhance the existing recreational opportunities in this part of Westshore.

During the project the drainage through the wall has been upgraded, and a shared pathway constructed.

Final landscaping, and planting will help secure the area behind the newly constructed revetment. This is due to take place in autumn 2024.

Contractors have worked around the needs of kōrora (Little Penguins). This part of the Westshore coastline is an important breeding ground for the birds.

Status:

Underway.

Estimated timeline:

Revetment completed December 2023. 

Landscaping to be completed autumn 2024.

Budget:

$4 million.
